Here's my example: indexindexa ip10.0.0.1 lookup iplookuptable ipaddr as ip outputnew confidence as c source as s severity as sev time as ltime table ip, c, s, sev, ltime. The search ONLY returns matches on the join when there are identical values for search 1 and search 2. Returns the index of the current row in the partition, without any sorting with regard to value. I want to return just 1 match, depending on a criteria, for example the highest number or such. This function returns a subset field of a multi-value field as per given start index and end index. Y and Z can be a positive or negative value. Without specifying a 'left' join type say if there was a customer value 4, you would not have got any returns from the sub search even if there was a customer with value 4 in the sub search.īTW - Consider using stats, count, or appendcols and join as a last resortIs it ever possible for a "stop" to happen before a "start"? I'd suspect not - unless you have some pretty bad timestamp extraction going on. However, the lookup returns more than 1 result for each match. Usage of Splunk EVAL Function: MVINDEX : This function takes two or three arguments ( X,Y,Z) X will be a multi-value field, Y is the start index and Z is the end index. Instead you can make your dot-star non-greedy, which will make it match as few characters as possible: /location' (.)'/ Adding a on a quantifier (, or +) makes it non-greedy. Limitations on the subsearch for the join command are specified in the file. The results of the subsearch should not exceed available memory. The subsearch must be enclosed in square brackets. The reason your query is working is because you have same values for customer in both searches. 1565 You need to make your regular expression lazy/non-greedy, because by default, ' (.)' will match all of 'file path/level1/level2' xxx some'xxx'. subsearch Syntax: ' ' subsearch '' Description: A secondary search where you specify the source of the events that you want to join.

You however need the inner / outer join in case you want common fields. By default, only the first row of the subsearch that matches a row of the main search is returned.

and arguments and returns the first value for which the condition evaluates to TRUE.

The results of a left (or outer) join includes all of the events in the main search and only those values in the subsearch have matching field values.ĭescription: Specifies the maximum number of subsearch results that each main search result can join with. The answer is yes In these cases, we can use the join command to achieve the results we’re looking for. If no fields are specified, all fields that are shared by both result sets will be used.

You can specify multiple pairs of aliases and values. Specify the field alias and value to return. By default, the return command uses only the first row of results. Optionally specifies the exact fields to join on. To improve performance, the return command automatically limits the number of incoming results with the head command and the resulting fields with the fields command. The results of an inner join do not include events from the main search that have no matches in the subsearch. Description: The traditional join command joins the results from the main results pipeline with the search pipeline results provided as the last argument. join does not accept a where clause nor does it have left or right options.
